Lovable builds an in-house credit-metering ledger; Stripe stays for payments

Lovable pricing

A Lovable Financial Systems Engineer req discloses a new in-house Financial Engineering team owning 'the billing system of record—from Stripe integration through to the metering ledger' and 'a credit-based usage model, pass-through service billing.' Signal: Lovable keeps Stripe for payments but builds its complexity-weighted credit meter in-house rather than buying a usage-billing platform (no Metronome/Orb/Chargebee named).
